So I'm in this mood today...
I'm catching the flu, I was up till 2am baking cookies last night, my ofc is COLD!!!
I just feel like blah and everything seems to be erking me, which is why I have been quiet on the main board.
But one of the things that's really ticking me off, is the religion bashing! In general, either peopel are bitching whether are not to say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, Pagans are complaining out the Yule, Christians are complaining about gay marriages, and then the in betweens who are saying, "you're all nuts there is no such thing!"
On another group some guy is using his version of common sense that there is no such thing as God, Heaven or Hell.
If you don't believe in it, that's fine, but why do even no religious people feel that they need to act as childish as the religious people and cram their non-existant beliefs down everyone else's throat.
I read 265 e-mails today spread out through about 4 groups and everyone has some religious bug up their yahoo...
Is the moon out or something??
I have been responding to a lot of these messages with...
The wonderful thing about religion and Faith is that it is not concrete, it is not tangible, it is not certain, it is what you make of it within yourself.
And then those that are really stupid I respond with... I am so glad God gave me free choice so I don't have to listen to you. <---regardless of my faith or not, that one usually really gets them riled LOL!!
So alas, I sit here to bitch because I would probably get kicked off have the groups if I responded witht he way I really want to.
If anyone cared enough to actually read this rant post, I have one thing to ask...
It doesn't matter who or what you believe in or not,
It doesn't matter if you follow Jesus or Allah or my plant Bob
It is one's personal opinoin and choice to believe in what they want.
It is them who will answer for what they do here in the after life if there even is one.
Please, if someone wants to talk about their patron, smile and listen, you may learn something.
If someone wants to preach fire and brimstone, smile and leave, why argue and subject yourself to their level?
Again, it's just a mood I'm in, not feeling well and all, and when you are already aggrevated from the flu, it sucks to hit the inbox button and find 200+ e-mails about whose God is right.
<off my soap box to sit back and blankly stare at my screen till 5pm comes>
